7:01 pm
you're watching the weekly here on r t with me marina costs rather around up all the big stories of the last seven days and we start this hour with the vehemence einstein american protests which have been shaken the muslim world for nearly two weeks now bonds they have lost a little steam in greece riot police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse demonstrators on sunday and this was just days after rallies turned especially violence in pakistan at least twenty people were killed there on friday and clashes with police to crack down on mobs targeting american diplomatic missions meanwhile some pakistani officials have condemned the statement by the railways minister who offered a hundred thousand dollars to kill the maker of the controversial film that sparked the protests the official also called on taliban and al qaeda brothers to take part

in the sas need in the cool of a cell in the cooler than hiding in america but i was going. or it says i'm a true film was catalyst for fury that has deep roots. the white house keeps saying it was just the anti islamic video that calls the muslims wrath across the world this is not a case of. protest or wrecked it of the united states writ large or it us policy this is in response to a video that is offensive but that's a claim no one is buying it ministration wants us to believe it's not the administration's policies that have generated this behavior it's this one idiotic piece of so-called film which is but out there for two months well what if you think it's stupid film that nobody seen causes people to assassinate ambassadors and to storm embassies and the question the us media keep asking why do so many millions of muslims hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers
7:03 pm
the very few in the us want to hear if you were to point to one thing that makes some muslims hate the usa it would be. hypocrisy over democracy. while america the government now preaches democracy it has propped up authoritarian leaders but that's not the only accusation of hypocrisy that washington is facing there's also u.s. policy makers failure to condemn the violence when it suits their goals like the numerous terrorist attacks in syria washington seems to approve of them as long as they are targeting supporters of the government or another act of violence a rebel mob executing colonel gadhafi the u.s. secretary of state cheered at the news came we saw he died there. washington's failure to condemn all violence equally has prompted radicals to take an even more aggressive course if most americans understood what was being done in
7:04 pm
our name in the stabilizing the middle east and north africa it would be absolutely horrified what are the result to me expect these people to have no hope their economies are destroyed they see we're calling for foreign invaders of course this kind of thing is going to happen when the tragedy in libya happened the international community wholeheartedly condemned the attacks on american diplomats but the u.s. for its part has been quite selective in condemning violence it could be that the white house thought by supporting revolutions by fostering regime change they were winning hearts and minds in the muslim world but that doesn't appear to be the case for now the obama administration constantly refers to the film as the sole reason behind what's happening a reasoning which basically allows them to avoid addressing the deeper issues in washington i'm going to check on. in georgia the prison abuse scandal has now lets a group of opposition activists gone on a hunger strike they want the release of several of us the colleagues who were
7:05 pm
among thousands protesting after leaked to the lies on the torture and rape of an rates by jail guards two ministers have stepped down over the scandal. well the first is to place prison staff with the police officers but demonstrators say that's not enough and are calling for the prosecution of everyone responsible for the revelations come just days before parliamentary elections with the government's popularity already falling arts is the goal of the school has more. the public is in fact so shocked and angry that there are comparing the footage from georgia for those with merit from guantanamo except it convenes suspected terrorists while here we're talking about georgian inmates another factor irritating the public right now is the recent arrest of one of the few hundred metres of these two people just given that you ignore you he was detained on saturday by truck a police officer we were not abiding to be a police orders he was put in prison for ten days but it is reported that he wasn't

wall street protesters marked the movement's one year anniversary this week activists descended on new york's financial district and tried to block the entrance to the city's stock exchange. was there for us. after the occupy wall street movement is here after its inception the takes the big apple by storm in full force i think i think that it is up more spac and behind barricades from the wee hours of the morning. marches and acts of civil disobedience all day long images that have become all too familiar throughout the past year reoccurring protesters thrown to the ground people there to document the action knocked down. activists attempting to help others wrestled by police. arms twisted and cops left and right over a hundred and eighty people of rested in one day when there's no place for people
7:08 pm
to come outside and to meet each other and talk about issues when that is so dangerous that you get such severe violence at police repression that we don't really have a democracy for a year now occupy has fought for eradicating wealth inequality and social and economic injustice to us give people jobs give people education if you will help you you have to help the mess of new accountability for wall street bankers years after the comic collapse. that was just still has people outraged expecting it may be naive but demanding it is and it starts with making a statement and that's what the people here are doing skeptics had hoped that occupy camps which once flourished all over the west but now have cleared out would put an end to the movement after months of camping out here in the financial district to party hard to what seems to be the peak of occupy hundreds of protesters are back
7:09 pm
here on the first anniversary of the movement to show that it's very much alive. the lack of encampments protesters say has not been an obstacle. we've really been able to focus on the issues that are important to us and that brought us out here in the first place of economic disparity and political system that no wrong longer represents people who don't have the money to compete and one of occupies key achievements so far triggering a national dialogue about what matters to the majority of americans the occupy movement has kept a dialogue around fairness and equality and access to the good things that we all want that should be available to everyone and that dialogue is now in the public the occupiers intend to do their best to keep this dialogue alive like the civil rights movement and would say that you know it still has a long way to go. and it's been you know since before i was born i think occupy
7:10 pm

hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up. and this is what i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called wolf island a chance to get up close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as foster parents for the next generation will come here. using the old awards as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs his parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs
